The remarkable story of golf prodigy Anthony Kim is being adapted into a documentary film. Kim, once a rising star, faced a devastating Achilles injury in 2012 that sidelined him for over a decade. His journey included significant struggles with addiction and mental health, leading to his withdrawal from the sport.
